The Colorado Avalanche left today for Tampa Bay to face the Lightning, with Nazem Kadri on board.
However, one major absentee was not on board: Andre Burakovsky, scorer of the winning goal in Game 1 of the final series.
He will be evaluated today for his right leg, he is playing through pain. He blocked a shot in the first game against the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Association finals and has been having trouble putting weight on his leg since.
He should rejoin the team tomorrow if all goes well.
In 12 playoff games, he has eight points.
